Dan,

Thanks for mentioning "The Past Is A Foreign Country".  It's one of my
all-time favorite books and I think every history professional or
interpreter should not only have read it but get it out from time to
time to reread tidbits. It's not one you can easily read from start to
finish, but almost every page has some sort of insight that will expand
your thinking and affect how you work.
